    I liked it, but I still feel annoyed how well you tricked me with the damn echidna.

      I'm so sorry my cryptic crossword made you have to think critically, I'll try to avoid that in the future

        (I realized this seems very rude out of context, we know each other in real life and this was a joke)

          LOL No really I laughed out loud.

      Good theme...why is FOUL not a valid answer for 8A I wonder?

        Indeed, I feel like this one is ambiguous - "X is overheard to be Y" makes me think that Y is the definition and X is the homophone rather than the other way around. (To be unambiguous, the homophone indicator has to be at one end of the clue rather than in the middle.)
